Reception February 7th    6 to 8pm

During the month of February, America directs its attention to the lives and historical contributions of Americans of African decent.  The “Afrocentricity” exhibition at        
LITM-Lounge and Gallery Space will showcase the collection of works by Darin DeField
who has established himself as one of the most influential figures of the art and culture scene in Jersey City.

Darin DeField is best known for his mixed media collage art; working with cut paper and mixed media elements that explore race, gender, sexuality, and identity.  His most acclaimed works are his “Head Series”.  Many of these heads seem to be fixed representations of indigenous tribal masks and many can be interpreted as spiritual leaders, masters and gurus that are derived from African sculpture as archaeological artifacts being recovered.

LITM-Lounge and Gallery Space, located in Historic Downtown Jersey City, is a popular neighborhood destination that hosts monthly art exhibitions by local and international artists.
